How can you tell if a pool table is slate?
The pool table is a Frederick Willys. My husband could pick up the ends. It's a used table, so I don't know how old it is. I looked underneath and could see wood, but didn't know if there might be a single slate slab on top. Also, we felt no seams under the felt. Thanks for your help.
